After Action Report
The Rockets demolished the SuperSonics 127-97. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Rockets cashed in. Rockets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Rockets played with the chip of a recent gutting loss. Rockets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- Rockets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Rockets · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
